Instructions

  1. Marinate the chicken: In a large bowl, combine chicken thighs with salt, black pepper, cumin, coriander, paprika, onion powder, turmeric, and sugar. Add tomato paste and olive oil, mix well and let marinate for at least 30 minutes or overnight for best flavor.
  2. Cook the chicken: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add marinated chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until fully cooked and slightly charred, about 8 to 12 minutes.
  3. Prepare the sauce: In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, and chopped parsley until smooth.
  4. Make the sumac onions: Mix sliced red onion with sumac, lemon juice, and parsley. Let sit for at least 10 minutes.
  5. Warm the lavash: Heat lavash in the oven or skillet slightly to make it easier to roll.
  6. Assemble the wrap: Spread garlic sauce on lavash, add lettuce, cooked chicken, sumac onions, pickles, tomatoes, and french fries. Roll tightly and serve.

Notes

Marinate chicken overnight for deeper flavor. Adjust spice levels according to preference.
